The purpose of raising bulldogs is to hope that bulldogs can live with us in good health, but bulldogs always have many small problems. Dog vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia, etc. are all minor problems that we should know how to deal with. Now follow the editor to take a look at the common diseases of bulldogs and what are their symptoms?

1Caudal disease

In order to relieve the pain, dogs with blocked anal glands often drag their tails and run fast, or squat on the ground and rub their tails in circles. This may be a symptom of intestinal parasites, and in most breeds the first thing to check for is hemorrhoids. But this is not the disease that most commonly causes this symptom. More common is pericaudal disease. Bulldogs with corkscrew tails are most susceptible to disease on the underside of their tails, especially in hot weather. Once the anus is moist and infected, you must take your dog to a veterinarian, who can help you prepare appropriate medicines for treatment. If the dog's tail is very tight, this may lead to a recurrence of the disease and may require amputation of the tail.

2Otitis externa

Cocker Spaniels with long earlobes exceeding the chin, or Poodles, Shih Tzus, Pekingeses, and Maltese dogs with dense hair in the ear canals are prone to otitis externa due to poor ventilation in the ear canal.

3 Eye diseases

Bulldogs are prone to inverted eyelashes. Eyelid hyperplasia is a common condition in bulldogs, that is, there is a white and red edema protruding inside the eyelids. If the situation is not serious, then the owner does not need to worry too much. Of course, the third eyelid can also be cured through surgery, and the risk factor of this type of surgery is not high. As long as the dog can tolerate the anesthesia, there will generally be no problems.

4Skin diseases

The skin is relatively fragile, so it is more susceptible to parasites or bacteria, which can cause skin diseases. However, it is difficult to determine which skin disease a dog is suffering from with the naked eye alone. Therefore, if you want to truly confirm the diagnosis, you still need to send it to the hospital to determine whether it is caused by fungi, mites, or other diseases through microscopy or Wood's lamp. The skin disease caused by the problem, and then the exact treatment.

5Heatstroke

Heat stroke is also one of the common problems for bulldogs. Because bulldogs are relatively short in stature and have short nasal passages, they may have difficulty breathing in the hot summer. Some people may also suffer from heat stroke due to overheating. Therefore, in summer when the temperature is relatively hot, it is best to ensure good indoor ventilation and try not to go out at noon. You can choose evenings when the climate is cooler. And do not do too strenuous exercise to avoid heatstroke caused by insufficient heat dissipation.
